SHANGHAI, China (AP) - Nearly a dozen homes built into hillside caves in northern China were buried when the soil above them collapsed, trapping 24 people, the government said Wednesday.
Bulldozers and trucks were still working early Wednesday to remove 23 million cubic feet of soil that collapsed late Monday in Qiaonan, a village in Shanxi province, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
It said 16 villagers survived the catastrophe, which destroyed 11 homes.
